Chapter 1523: Canaan Administrative District Receives the Luolantan Zerg

Viridius nodded slightly and spoke.

Understood. I will establish a communication link with the Luolantan Zerg as quickly as possible to convey the Emperor's will. Furthermore, has the great Emperor provided any subsequent arrangements for receiving them? If the Zerg do indeed enter the Desolate Star regions of the Canaan Administrative District on a large scale, how will the subsequent surveillance and management authority be allocated?

Luojia's projection tilted his head to glance at a data pad and spoke.

The Legion will send people over; the Emperor will designate a formation to be responsible for the surveillance and research work of the Luolantan Zerg. The publicly stated name will be Alien threat assessment and alert Task, but the actual operations will be taken over directly by the Legion.

The scientific research department of the Canaan Administrative District may send observers, but they cannot come into contact with core samples. After the Legion arrives, all biological sample collection, data recording, and quarantine management regarding the Luolantan Zerg will be the responsibility of the Legion.

The logistics system of the Administrative District is only responsible for providing material supplies and route coordination.

Upon hearing the words about not being able to contact core samples, Viridius breathed a slight sigh of relief.

They cannot contact the core; once the core is contacted, it is a ticking time bomb, and he himself could be blown to smithereens by that ticking time bomb at any moment.

Understood. I will delineate the specific coordinate range of the Desolate Star region in advance and complete the blockade of surrounding routes and the arrangement of quarantine zones before the Zerg land. After the Legion formation arrives, they can directly take over surveillance authority, and I will have the logistics system's supply contingency plan compiled within forty-eight hours.

Luojia's projection nodded slightly.

Then execute in this direction. The Emperor's expected outcome for this operation is that the Luolantan Zerg can land smoothly and accept surveillance, providing a source of samples for the biological research of the Xiuluo Holy Star Alliance.

If uncontrollable resistance occurs during the process, prioritize the safety of the Legion's research formation; you are fully responsible for the cleanup of the Zerg.

Viridius bowed and saluted.

I obey the Emperor's will.

Luojia's projection disappeared. Viridius walked to the holographic tactical table, reached out, and used a stylus to circle the group of Luolantan Zerg signal points on the star map, then marked the coordinates of several planets labeled as gray-white in the border Desolate Star region.

Connect to the receiving channel for the biological communication the Luolantan Zerg sent last time, and prepare to reply to them with an encoded communication. Use the standard biological signal encoding format, add a layer of simple decoding identification, and let them confirm that this is a reply from the side that sent the communication previously.

The Communications Officer's fingers operated rapidly on the control console.

The channel is connected, and the encoding template is loaded. What content needs to be embedded?

Viridius walked to the side of the communication console and spoke.

The content is: The Canaan Administrative District is willing to provide three desolate planets in the border region for you to settle on. You may establish habitats on the planet surfaces, free from interference.

The conditions are: First, you must not leave the designated area.

Second, you need to gather all Luolantan kin scattered in the starry sky into this area for unified settlement.

Third, you must accept periodic quantity audits and environmental sampling.

Accept these three conditions, and you may land.

If you do not accept, or if any boundary-crossing behavior occurs after landing, you will be treated as invaders.

Subsequently, Viridius added.

Send this message encoded in the standard format for biological communication, with the time window set within ten minutes. If there is no reply after sending, then proceed according to the attack protocol.

Then Viridius said to the Administrative District logistics dispatcher who was on standby on the other side.

Add the orbital coordinates of those three Desolate Stars to the route blockade list. From now on, no unauthorized transport ships may enter that region.

The logistics system will begin stocking supply materials sufficient to maintain one standard year, placed in an orbital supply station about half a light-hour away from the Desolate Stars.

"Yes!"

The logistics dispatcher stood at attention, responded, turned, and walked quickly toward their control console.

Luoran Migration Fleet, inside the Core Biological Ship, Dominant Cabin.

The Dominant Zerg Will hovered over the biological node in the center of the Dominant Cabin, its surface covered with fine nerve fiber bundles extending outward to connect to several thick conduit structures on the inner side of the cabin wall.

After the Dominant Zerg Will sensed the receipt of the biological communication signal, it accessed the encoded signal from the Canaan Administrative District through the nerve fiber bundles into the Core Processing Area and extracted the text content.

After it finished interpreting all the content, the Dominant Cabin pulsed with excitement.

It still remembered the words the Mother God said in the last communication.

Find a place to land, no matter how far, no matter whose border it is on.

The nerve fiber bundles of the Dominant Zerg Will extended toward the remote communication organ of the biological ship.

A response came from the other end of the communication link, and the Mother God's voice sounded in the mind of the Dominant Zerg Will.

Child, how is the situation on your side? You have discovered something.

A layer of continuous light glowed on the surface of the core tissue of the Dominant Zerg Will, transmitting the information received from the Canaan Administrative District back toward the Mother God.

Mother God, we encountered an interstellar force in the northwest section of the Bode Star System; they call themselves the Canaan Administrative District. We sent a biological communication to their border and expressed our stance that we were just passing through and had no malicious intent.

They are willing to provide three desolate planets in the border region for us to settle on, allowing us to establish habitats on the planet surfaces, free from interference.

The conditions are that we must not leave the designated area, we need to gather all scattered Luolantan kin into this area for unified settlement, and we must accept periodic quantity audits and environmental sampling.

A short interval occurred before the Mother God's reply arrived.

Three Desolate Stars; they are willing to let us land, but do not allow you to leave the designated area. Do you understand what this means?

The light on the surface of the core tissue of the Dominant Zerg Will contracted slightly.

These are their conditions; they do not welcome Zerg to move about at will within their star territory, so they need to delineate borders to manage us. But even if these three Desolate Stars are restricted, they are safer than any planet we have passed through during our exile so far.

There are surface structures there that can be modified; we can survive, and after we settle down, we will consider developing and growing stronger.

The Mother God was silent for a moment, then replied.

My child, you go and check the situation first. After landing, confirm whether the ecological conditions of those three Desolate Stars can truly support long-term survival, and confirm the Canaan Administrative District's attitude toward us.

If you confirm that the conditions there are acceptable, I will bring your other sisters to move all the Luolantan Zerg into that area.

The light on the core tissue of the Dominant Zerg Will brightened again.

I will lead the fleet to arrive at the Desolate Stars first. If everything meets expectations, I will send you a confirmation signal, at which time you can lead the other sisters to migrate in.

Depart, my child, and confirm the situation there.

The Mother God's signal gradually weakened, and the communication was cut off.

The biological communication signal was sent through the ship's remote communication organ. After the Canaan Administrative District border outpost received the information, it sent the information back to headquarters.

Viridius stood before the holographic tactical table, and the Communications Officer looked up from behind the control console to report.

Deputy District Chief, the Luolantan Zerg biological fleet has sent a receipt. They state they are willing to accept all the settlement conditions proposed by the Canaan Administrative District, and they will arrive at the Desolate Star orbit within the scheduled time and execute self-quarantine procedures before landing.

Viridius nodded and said.

Record the reception time and archive the reply. Notify the logistics dispatch department that the preliminary preparation time for the Desolate Star region is to be cut in half; complete the containment work within forty-eight hours.

"Yes!"
